Update on Corpus Christi Planning Process

The pastoral planning process for the Diocese of Corpus Christi is now in full listening mode. Listening sessions were conducted throughout the diocese in late February. At six parish sites, over 300 participants came to offer their input about their hopes and dreams for the future of the diocese based on the vision laid out by Bishop Mulvey. The sessions were held in both English and Spanish. There was significant input given, all of which will be analyzed, summarized and shared in future updates.

In addition, over a dozen focus groups were held to get specific input from key groups such as Catholic Charities, young adults, deacons and priests and Religious. There will also be more than a dozen individual interviews of local leaders, both Catholic and non-Catholic.

Lastly, every Catholic in the diocese has the opportunity to participate in a survey that is now available on the diocesan homepage under the Pastoral Planning section. You can also directly access the survey at
